High Nessus Plugin ID 40536

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update includes the latest stable release of Subversion, fixing many bugs and a security issue: Matt Lewis reported multiple heap overflow flaws in Subversion (servers and clients) when parsing binary deltas. Malicious users with commit access to a vulnerable server could uses these flaws to cause a heap overflow on the server running Subversion. A malicious Subversion server could use these flaws to cause a heap overflow on vulnerable clients when they attempt to checkout or update, resulting in a crash or, possibly, arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable client. (CVE-2009-2411) This update also adds support for storing passwords in the GNOME Keyring or KDE Wallet, via the new subversion-gnome and subversion-kde subpackages. For more details of the bug fixes included in this update, see:http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.6.4/CHANGESNote that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
